Beautiful Bags on Sale!

Vestiaire Collective are holding another one of their 10% off sales (code is 10AUGUST) and this time anything over £300 qualifies! These sales are always over in a flash (they usually only last a day or two) so I always make sure I do a quick scan of my favourites styles to see if any bargains come up (yes, I am *that* person). I had no intention of buying another bag so soon (it’s been a pretty bag-heavy summer so far!) but I spotted one that’s been on my radar for a while and it was in my perfect combination at almost half off retail with the extra discount – I couldn’t say no! Any guesses on what I snapped up?

I did a quick browse around the site and spotted some more gorgeous deals! This teal Fendi Peekaboo is stunning and is about 1/3 off retail. There is also an ever-rare small Chanel boy which isn’t the cheapest but with discount comes to about £2500 which is still a bit of a saving off retail for a very popular and hard-to-find bag. I think my favourite find though (apart from what I actually snapped up!) is this amazing metallic Chanel reissue – I’ve never been one for reissues but this one has me reconsidering everything!

There are also some great deals on the Louis Vuitton Capucines style – including a couple in the super popular BB size as well as the MM size. I’m still holding out hope that a PM is going to appear one day (if the handbag gods are listening – in galet with GHW please :D) as I doubt I will ever go down the route of buying one retail. In the meantime, I will be patient and stalk away!

Hi! I love your channel, site, and everything in your "Amie room"! Speaking of Chanel bags, I am going to be visiting England for the first time next week and am planning on purchasing a Chanel Jumbo or a Chanel New Medium Boy. My friend booked us an AirBnB in the Bethel Green neighborhood. I'm not too familiar with London neighborhoods, do you know if that's a safe area to carry around my new Chanel or at least safe to carry the Chanel shopping bag at the end of my splurge shopping day from the tube/bus stations to our AirBnB? Sorry if this is a silly question but I would really appreciate any honest advice you could give.

How exciting! London is such a brilliant place to visit, hopefully the heat wave we're having extends to next week too! So I haven't been to Bethnal Green for a couple of years but it wasn't the best area the last time I went. That said, I have never been anywhere in London that I wouldn't feel comfortable carrying a Chanel bag. Most of London is filled with people and I generally feel pretty safe here. Of course, I don't wander into dark alleyways by myself at night but that's just common sense 🙂 I would think you'd be fine – Bethnal Green is a bit of a hipster place and I'm sure there will be the odd vintage Chanel bag around! 🙂 Enjoy your vacation!
